Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Firms Represents fifteen minute show? Here you go? Is this
thing recording? I think it's on. Hi, Welcome to the
fifteen minute Morning Show podcast. If you had a fifteen

(00:24):
minute morning show, what would you talk about? It's just
fifteen minutes. There's really no pressure here, that's what you think? Well,
you know it is true, Garrett. Fifteen minutes in what
we do for a living is a long time time
to film. Have you ever heard one minute of dead air?
Do you want to hear it? Oh? Gotta tell you what.
I'm gonna make it? Just ten seconds of dead air? Here?
How long this is? Ready? Go? That's it feels so

(00:57):
much longer. That's only ten second? So bizarre, beautiful thing
about the podcast is we can get away with it.
We do that on the air. That's where bells and
whistles go off and then engineer start running down the
hallway thinking we broke something. You know what I find
so bizarre? Um Brody and I we did. We did
an hour and a hundred minutes, a hundred minutes on
our podcast. That's close to two hours. But yet when

(01:20):
I when I'm we're doing a fifteen minute morning. Sure,
I'm sitting here like struggling. I don't understands hundred minutes.
I don't understand it. Well, you guys talk about things
we don't talk about. That's true. I mean it's easier
for you guys to figure out what you're gonna talk
about because you're Brooklyn Boys and you talk about all
the obnoxious things that the Brooklyn Boys podcast talks about,
starring of course Brody and Scary. Thank you for you, dude.

(01:46):
I asked him to be a part of that podcast.
I don't want to talk about that here, butt him
until was it going to just be the Brooklyn Boy Yeah?
Was that going to be the podcast? He asked me
to do a podcast? I said no, And then I said,
here in his the list of reasons, and that wasn't
one of them. And I said, first of all, we
renamed the show the Brooklyn Boys because that's what Elvis
calls us. Oh, the Brooklyn Boys fighting again. And I

(02:08):
made a list of stipulations and he agreed to all
of them. What were those stipulations? There was not That
was not a stipulation that he comes first, you have
a binding contract. No, I'm just saying, well, there's no contract.
This is the thing about the Brooklyn Boys. You guys
have been talking for like two minutes now. I haven't
listened to one word you've said. It's like the podcast.
There's nothing interesting. Hello, come on with something interesting, Come

(02:30):
on go. You know Seinfeld did a show about nothing.
People loved it. That's what we do is kind of
like what we do. So here it is in New York.
It's our first really beautiful, beautiful day of spring. I'm
the only one wearing shorts. Well I don't know wing
around short. But we do have guests command today we're
gonna have pictures taken. So I wanted to I wanted

(02:51):
to look presentable. But the thing is that, you know me,
I don't wear socks, and so I have new shoes
I just bought this past weekend, and they're just ripping
my feet. To shred your feet, your legs are all
cut up. I'm looking at new shoes, hold like, can
you clear out your throat? He's got the vocal the
vocal fry. And you're wearing white pants too, so if

(03:11):
they drag down, you're gonna get blood all over those.
But you cannot wear new shoes without socks, like you
have to break them in first and then you're okay
to go because you know you're gonna get blessed. You
know me, I just don't like socks. Fashion be damned,
but it's like going commando. The Good Lord provided socks
for us. We should be wearing socks with shoes. Anyone

(03:33):
who has a problem with that, it's like, oh, look,
I could see a little bit of socks shows. I'm
not getting busters on my feet so that people can go, look,
I can see angles by the show. It just depends
on what you're into. I don't. I don't even wear
no shows. I don't wear socks period during the spring
and summer and into fall months. It's just I just
don't never have. I don't have a foot odor problem,

(03:53):
never had, and it looks and in my opinion, it
looks better with no socks. It just does get the
no shows. It does. Trust me, I believe you know
you're looking at me like I'm trying to think that
can't even when you showed up to the beach and
those Frankenstein black shoes that we went to Miami for
the first time, that was funny. I want my doc

(04:14):
Martin's on the beach. Scary. Shoes are so big they
didn't sink into the sand, They just stayed on top
like tennis rackets and snow scary. Have you gotten your
pedicure yet for the nice weather for your No, I
have not. I got to do that. If you were
to take off your socks and shoes right now, how
you don't want your toe now? Let's look and let's
look at it. Talents. Okay, walk over to daniel Let

(04:38):
her inspect your feet. You know you have a girlfriend's
Danielle scale of one to ten, one being the worst
tend being scary at perfect feet. This is like going
on on a date and not just take off your shoes.
I think take off your shoes. You can. You can
hang upside down from a tree, limb your shirt. Let
me see. I'm a time finger nails. Danielle scale of

(05:07):
one to tend being the worst tend being he has
perfect feats went backwards on the scale. I wasn't. I
wasn't prepared for this. Do you have some likely soul
to spread my area? But why is your area? No?
But scary? Those are gross? Your feet were glistening to
you got sweaty okay at the end of the day.

(05:29):
Though it is the end of winter, so not a
lot of us have the perfect feet right now. I
get that, so you're allowed. But here's the thing. He
has a girlfriend that he's I'm guessing, sleeps with. Did
you scratch her up with? Don't you scratch her ankles?
Her feet looked like mine with with no socks on,
with my new shoes. We had an accident once. Did
you put it up for adoption? We're talking about. I

(05:52):
will say this though, while I was getting dressed this morning,
being such a nice day here in the Northeast, I
was wondering who was going to be that guy? And
it was Garrett, Like who is going to be the
person to wear shorts today? Like seventy degrees? This is
like that kind of you know, people jumping, you know,
jumping ahead of things, jumping the season, trying you know

(06:13):
see what I'm saying, Like Garrett wore shorts like the
first nice day. You know, it's a short stay that
is later on when you leave here, you're going to
be too hot first, yeah, but it's gonna be seventy seven.
Can we talk about exercise for a minute, anything but
what we're talking about. So they tell you to exercise
because they tell you it's the best thing for you,

(06:33):
but they don't tell you how much you're gonna hurt afterwards.
I have been planking for like three or four months now, right,
so I've been getting much better at it, so I
can go up to a minute forty five, which I'm
very impressive. It's very great, so I try to do
different things with it. Let me tell you something. The
middle of my back today it feels like an elephant
is sitting on top of it, you know. But isn't

(06:55):
there a little satisfaction when you feel the pain. You
know that you deserve the pain. I do deserve the pain.
But I'm thinking maybe I need to adjust something, like
I did it wrong or something, because it just really hurts.
Come on, you've never exercised where you couldn't get up
the next morning. My problem is when I work out
my legs, I can't walk downstairs. I can walk upstairs,
but walking downstairs my legs turned into jello. Yeah. Yeah,

(07:18):
Also a really big leg day the next day. If
you have to go to the bathroom, that's extremely painful
for men. Oh god, if you if I do a
really hard leg day. If I've been sitting on the toilet,
on the toilet and trying to get back up, oh
my god, I go on the urnal crap in the urinal.
He can't end. Isn't planking when you just lay flat

(07:39):
works out every day? Then there's other ways to quieting.
I think he's planking right now. One more run. But
I'll tell you I used to do other exercises for
my arms. Planking has been the best thing I've ever
done from my arms r ever, and I am shocked
because I thought I would have to do so many
other things. So if your list saying to this, you're

(08:00):
wondering what to do for your arms, take that plank
challenge because it is incredible. Daniel, thank you for bringing
up exercise, pain and planking, because before that, I felt
like the show just had no cohesive feel. I felt
like we were just kind of warming up to a show.
Now we're doing a show all right, from planking to
what What's next? Garrett go I was reading an article
about college because if people are getting ready to graduate

(08:22):
from college or attend college for the first time, and
they were saying, is college worth it? Because people are
paying so much money for college that at the end
of the day, does your education pay for what you
just put in for the last four years? Because parents
are taking out mortgages on houses, people are putting going
to banks asking for loans. I think, at the end
of the day, the amount of money that myself and

(08:44):
my parents paid not worth it. You're not getting your
money's worth. I don't think anyone really got the knowledge
of you know, class from college. You know, none of
it made sense? Okay, Well, I mean if you haven't,
if you are working in the law field, if you're
an attorney or a doctor from from medical school, I
can see how it could have paid off there. I
get that, but I hope overall, I think the biggest

(09:07):
thing I got into college was the relationships. Outside of
the relationships, the learning aspect wasn't that great for me? You, Nate,
you went to school, didn't you? Yeah? Okay? And was
there a payoff? Is it paying off now? I think so.
I think the payoff is the fact that you don't
have the future that you had prior to going to school.
Does that make sense be here? I wouldn't be here

(09:30):
if it wasn't for going the path I did what
did you make? It was just communications in business, and
I my degree has not coming to play at all
in my my line of work and what I do.
I've never asked to see it. I've never been asked
to see it. I have it in a frame just
because I wanted to frame seventy thou dollars right, all
those student loans I took out. But I don't know.

(09:52):
I would have been a truck driver if I hadn't
gone to school. And nothing wrong with that, Nothing wrong
with that. That That so my dad did for thirty years.
But I think, yeah, the path you take is is
kind of pushed along by the things you're doing along
the way. I don't think I would have been a
success in this business had I continued college. I dropped
out of college to do this. Brody, you and scary
and scary. I know you. You You graduated college, didn't you? Yes?

(10:13):
And I made you in communications and this is exactly
the path that I wanted to be on. But you
worked at your student radio station. You grew up listening
to the radio station you're on. Now you have the
passions there? What about you, Brodie? My college education I
was pre law, was business management, and it didn't. It
didn't really help me. And it helped me when I
ran restaurants in fast food places. But really it made me,
i'd say, more worldly. It forced me to read, it

(10:34):
forced me to think differently analyze situations, but it didn't.
I mean, nobody asked me about Greek drama in the
course of a normal day. Are you experiencing success in
this part of your life because of your college No.
I think I experienced success in conversations and being a
more well rounded adult. Um, But I don't think from
day to day. All the trivia, all the knowledge, all

(10:56):
the things that I add to the show of life
experience really was television and the neighborhood. I gotta tell you.
When I asked Danielle about her college education, the first
thing she always talks about is she just couldn't find
parking St. John's, Right, You have a lot more parking
at St. John's. That's all you talk about. I've never
heard you talking about teachers or curriculum. They also didn't have, like,
you know, a campus for for me to stay. They

(11:17):
had student housing outside of campus. No dorms. Now they've
freaking got dorms. What the hell? I don't see, look,
we're talking about college. That's all she talks about. But
I must say I would not be here without St.
John's because I got my internship through there. So I
did not know that that's how I got my internship.
And so if I hadn't gone to St. John's and
done the communications route, I wouldn't have been here because
I wouldn't have gotten the internship someplace out. The day

(11:40):
I quit college was the best thing I ever did. Really,
college is all about finding your passion. Right. It's four
years and you start with jen ed courses and maybe
you have a major in mind, but a lot of
people don't, and people change their major. I changed mine.
I can sum up college very easily. Gregg t went
to college. Oh yeah, there is a right. It went
to fairly ridiculous. No, don't say that. That's a that's

(12:02):
a great school. They used to call it the high
school with ash trays. But anyway, you know, to go
back to school Elvis, No, no, no, I'm gonna go
back for continuing. Like I would go to ICE, the
Institute of Culinary Education, I would go there. I wouldn't
like learn, you know how knife a chicken? You know,

(12:22):
I don't know. I'd like to take some PR classes
because I think that would be something cool to what
I would like to do if if I don't know, retire,
quit or whatever. I would like to attend Nate University
and do all of the things that I wanted to
do in school. Right, I want to learn what did
you miss out? I wanted to do a semester abroad.
I would love to go to Spain and learn another language.

(12:45):
I want to do those things that I can do
that I'll go do a semester abroad. But like astronomy
or meteorology, I don't care. Don't make me take science
courses because I have to get nine credits and science.
But I'm saying that's why it's a waste of money,
because you're doing those things that a most people don't
want to do. But the problem is that you don't
know your major at first, so you don't half the
time you don't know at least, so sometimes you will

(13:06):
use that stuff. Was there ever, of course you took
in college that was so over your head you just couldn't.
I dropped out philosophy, philosophy, I had one. I dropped
out of philosophy. It was just so far beyond me.
I had a fight with my philosophy teacher because he
philosophy philosophical differences. He was like, he was talking about

(13:28):
the mob and the mafia at one point, and he
was talking about all these other things, and we just
disagreed on so many and he got really nasty with
me in class, and after class I had to be like, listen,
we're in a differ, but you can't, you know. That's
and I thought I was gonna fail. I got a
great grade, but I honestly thought I was going to
fail because he hated me. The problem with with philosophy,
in my opinion, is its foundation is truly opinion, and

(13:51):
so you can actually disagree with the philosopher and what
they were saying, or you can even disagree in the
interpretation of what that philosopher was saying. We didn't talk
about the we talked about I mean, we wait way back.
I mean we're talking Aristotle stuff, you know, but philosophy
over my head. Did you guys take philosophy? Yes, I did,
But the worst one for me was political science policy.

(14:14):
Hated it, loved it, and an archaeology and anthropology. I
took those courses I'm like, I don't know what's going
on here. I barely showed up. My husband took like
a gemology class or something like that. It was like,
you know when you get to your senior year and
you just can't take anything just to you know, get through.
And he said it was one of the best. He
learned about all these stones and poloshy, look you got
a rock on your finger. Obviously passed that class. He

(14:38):
loved that class. I was like one of his favorite
classes in college. This has been the weirdest fifteen minute
morning show podcast, but not the worst one ever. You
didn't say, you know, I think it's borderline worst one ever,
But it's not the worst one ever. And it's close tomorrow.
We swear tomorrow will be fabulous. I won't show up
